  • Self-discipline

    Today was a light day, full of relaxation and delicious food. On days like this, especially since it is Saturday, I can find it really easy to not sit down to write here. However, I am self-disciplined. This discipline has sometimes been damaging to me because of how extreme I can be with commitments. At…

  • A mirror is a reflection

    A mirror is a reflection. This is something I have on my mind and heart today. I have been raging inside about people’s actions or lack of actions throughout my life. My body is bringing this up and through me, without my choice and so now I have to attend to it. My line of…

  • Grief

    Ouch. Ouuu. Owww. Ohhh. It hurts in a way that feels physical. I cry so hard I feel like I might break. But at the same time it feels like my crying muscles are elastic. Inexhaustible. So if I start, I might just cry forever. I am grieving the living as much as the dead.…

  • Is it blissful?

    Sometimes things are just not clear. I ache when I think about times in life when I felt I had to make a decision before I was ready. Equally, times when I chose to do something before the other was ready, before the situation was ready. Now, I have a tool. I learned this tool…
